What laws pertain to building custom motorcycles?
It depends on the state that you are building the bike in... I would check the Department of Motor Vehicles web-site for your state to get the answer. The new rule aims to enforce the Clean Air Act by reducing the number of exempt custom motorcycles that small shops can build and individual riders can own. The rule also drastically reduces tail pipe emissions for all motorcycles effectively making carburetors a thing of the past and electronic fuel injection and catalytic converters a mainstay.

What were the 'merciful stay' laws passed by Congress at the end of the Civil War?
I'm just guessing here but a "merciful stay" is a stay of execution for a condemned criminal for reasons of mercy rather than justice. Therefor I would guess that when the war ended stayes of execution were permitted for soldiers who had been condemned to death for assorted military infractions (desertion, cowardice, etc.) but had not yet been executed. With the war clearly almost over the executions would have had no real purpose in terms of military discipline and it would have been possible to display mercy. As I say though, that is just a guess on my part. If you find out for sure, please let me know if I'm right! Michael Montagne
Were Jim Crow Laws made to bring people together?
Far from it. Jim Crow laws were created to make discrimination legal. White southerners were unhappy that black males were given the vote by the Fifteenth Amendment, and the strategy to make sure blacks were excluded from political power was to create laws that made it difficult for them to vote. The Jim Crow laws also extended to women, and made segregationist practices legal, forbidding black people from shopping in certain stores, using libraries, attending good colleges, etc. In a way, the Jim Crow Laws brought white bigots together, but they didn't do much good for anyone else.
What law made it illegal to spread contraceptive information and devices?
There are rather old federal laws that still prohibit these activities.
18 USC Section 1461. "Mailing obscene or crime-inciting matter", enacted in 1911, included "contraception" information as "obscene or immoral" materials that could not be sent by interstate commerce.
Distribution of information regarding means or opportunities for procuring an abortion were also illegal, and both were made violations under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act, 18 USC 1961 (in the 1984 amendments).
How did southern states get around the 15th amendment and restrict African American?
The 15th amendment granted every citizen the right to vote. This right was abridged by imposing poll taxes blacks often couldn't afford and requiring "literacy" tests which were rigged to prevent blacks from passing while whites were exempted from the tests.
What was the purpose of Jim crow laws and black codes?
it was to keep the black population down, because slavery and unequal rights were illegal, so the south made laws to prevent blacks from voting, without saying they couldn't vote ie: must be a landowner, (blacks were too poor to own land) must take a literacy test to vote, (they didn't go to school) must pay a poll tax, (they were broke, they couldn't pay)
Jim Crow Laws were a set of "Black Codes" when segregation was still around. These laws basically sanctioned of certain areas, like restaurants, to African Americans.
What does the tern separate but equal mean?
"Separate but equal" was an important topic of the mid-1900s. African Americans were not slaves of Caucasians anymore, but they were slaves to the unconstitutional law of the United States at the time. Laws that did not follow our constitution at the time rung, "separate but equal." However, life was anything but equal during the mid-1900s - the fact in itself that things were separate meant that things were unequal. Think: if people are equal, why the need to separate them?
Many whites during this time period did not approve of Jim Crow laws, but many of the same people did not speak up. In that era, people that did not follow the plan, were fired from their jobs, their friends left them, no one would speak to them, and worst of all, they (both Caucasians and African Americans) were often beaten and/or murdered. Almost all African Americans during the time felt that Jim Crow laws were unfair.
